Hiring for Experience over Degrees : Degree-Based Hiring Can Exclude Capable Candidates: Difference Between A Degree And Experience (Paperback)

<p>Today, employers are looking for a variety of talents, skills, and personality traits in future candidates. This means that people who haven't attended university, have just as much of a chance of getting employed due to the potential skills and experience that they have gained in the time that others have spent studying for a degree.</p> <p>The good news is that there are ways to get a good job without a college degree, even if the job listing says it is a requirement. In fact, some hiring managers simply say this because it's easier to ask for a college degree than to dig down into which skills are most valuable for the job. If you can demonstrate that you have the skills and experience needed for the job, some employers will overlook your lack of a degree.</p> <p>What we can learn from this book: </p> <ul> <li>Why "Get Your Dream Job" is useless advice;</li> <li>The difference between weak goals and S.M.A.R.T. goals;</li> <li>A Networking formula that sets you apart from the endless sea of college graduates;</li> <li>Transform Your Boring Resume;</li> <li>Why Career Fairs are like the Playoffs;</li> <li>The Navy Seal Approach to Mastering the Interview;</li> <li>How To Get The Job Offer and Negotiate A Higher Salary;</li> <li>And much more!</li> </ul>
